I too have never made it to 1944, but I have hopes of someday getting there.
If GWX was modeled to get some historical value, then it would be a good idea to radio in your contact BEFORE you attack. Perhaps other u-boats will get the message and come to your rescue in a wolf-pack (that's my hope anyway, I don't know if it'll work or not).
My practice in running from escorts is to go in the direction the convoy came from. By doing this, you open the distance between the escorts and the convoy, thus making your time in hell a bit less. They don't like leaving the convoy unprotected. You lose your chances at a second run on the convoy, but you increase your chances of survival to attack a different convoy, perhaps a better convoy, on perhaps a better day.
